3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will there be no next Google Gemini Pro model release by September 30, 2026? — resolved “Yes” on 1 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if Google does not release a new Gemini Pro model to the general public by September 30, 2026. The No outcome occurs if such a model launches and becomes publicly accessible on or before that date. Readers often mistake closed betas or private access for a valid release, but only models open to the general public count.
  • Will the next Google Gemini Pro model debut with a Humanity’s Last Exam score of 50% or higher? — the market puts it at 63%, with $284 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a new Gemini Pro model appears on the Humanity’s Last Exam website with an HLE Accuracy of 50% or higher by noon Eastern Time the day after it is first listed. The resolution depends solely on the percentage shown in the official result card, ignoring calibration error or other metrics.
  • Before Oct 1, 2026 — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Google officially releases Gemini 4 before October 1, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake a product announcement or beta test for an official release.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
